HQC Background

What is Hive, Queen and Country? It is a vast and detailed setting based on Our Timeline’s Victorian history but with a number of “conceits”, things that are added to increase the excitement of an already facinating era.

These changes include economically viable space travel to Luna, Mars and Venus, as well as widespread heavy life airflight. The new worlds of the solar system are not lifeless orbs but are spheres populated with strange and dangerous life. A race of aliens inhabits Mars and has used enslaved humans to terraform that world, Venus is also home to transplanted Earthers.
